Icinga2 out of storage Is it safe to delete perfdata folder

Per the title my server has run out of data since the perfdata has been built up so much…is it safe to delete the perfdata folder? Is there any unexpected consequences I should be prepared for?

Seems you have unintentionally enabled the perfdata feature. If you don’t use PNP or any other daemon which processes the performance data files into metrics stored into RRDTool, you are safe to delete them. Also, run icinga2 feature disable perfdata && systemctl restart icinga2.

For Graphite or InfluxDB, you don’t need the perfdata feature.

Cheers,
